Sol was a wonderful man. I am sad he is gone. he was sweet and kind always wanting to help. he and my parents were always checking on each other over the years. I will never forget his spunk as a younger man and even as he got older. I will never forget my parents yelling to him to get off the roof (when he was in his 70's). he was a great neighbor and friend to my family. Shirley, Marlene,Janet,Larry and Sandy may his memory be a blessing. he will be missed but always cherished. Now he and my dad can just play like kids in heaven. Helene

Sol was a gentle person and a wonderful father!
Knowing him since I was a child and looking forward to going to his and Shirley's house from Milwaukee was always something I will always treasure!

I pray for the family during this time.

I remember meeting Sol for the first time when Marlene and Dennis were planning their wedding. I struck me how he had a quiet presence.

Over the years of visiting and seeing Sol, he was always respectful of others around him. He had such a calm and peaceful way about him. You can see his demeanor in his children. They too are all kind and gentle souls.

Sol was a beautiful person, I too am heartbroken at losing this genuine Man. I pray for strength and God's peace for Shirley and all of his family.
